The mosque is located in 101 the Kasbah street near the entrance of Souk En Nhas.[1]
According to the historian Mohamed Belkhodja, it was built by the Zirids, a dynasty that ruled the whole Maghreb region from 972 and 1014, and then a part of it (Ifriqiya) until 1148.[2]
People visit the mosque to get some luck while the Ulamas disagree with this belief.[3]
